Eight grants totalling more than $262,000 will go towards equipment, including more than $32,000 for an accurate race timing system at North West Victorian Motorcycle Club.

Four grants will go towards infrastructure investments, with more than $230,000 for a track extension and pit lane redevelopment at the Central Highlands Regional Karting Complex in Haddon home of the Ballarat Kart Club.

The Community Motorsport Program is part of the Labor Government's $7.4 million Racing Into a New Era for Motorsport initiative.
